Schapelle Corby, dying in Bali Jail. Help Bring her Home!

Target:
The Hon. Kevin Rudd, Prime Minister of Australia

Recently declared insane by an eniment Australian psychiatrist, the Australian Government stands by and does nothing. The Indonesian Courts sentenced this young Australian woman to 20 years for importation of 4.2kg of marijuana. Despite pleading by the defendant to have the drugs DNA tested, her baggage weighed and the bags fingerprinted, the trial went ahead without testing of this crucial evidence. This evidence would have set her free.


She was not given her rights to a fair trial under the laws of Indonesia or by international conventions.


This petition to the Prime Minister of Australia is designed in the hope that diplomatic intervention will help in securing Schapelle Corby's release and return to Australia for proper psychiatric care. The psychiatrist has said that failure of the government to repatriate her will result in her dying in prison in Bali.

Schapelle Corby's judicial review has failed. Now this once vibrant young woman is facing a 20 year jail sentence that will prevent her ever from having children and seeing them play happily in their own home. We need people power to help set her free.

The Hon. Kevin Rudd
Prime Minister of Australia
Parliament house
Canberra ACT.

Dear Mr. Rudd


We, the undersigned, mandate you to address the incarceration of Ms Schapelle Corby for 20 years in a Bali Jail and the circumstances surrounding her trial.


Whether the young woman was guilty or not, the manner in which the trial was conducted, should have resulted in her immediate release with no conviction recorded against her name.


You would be aware that the defendant was denied the basic right of any court of law, anywhere in the world, to have the evidence tested - in this case, to establish the country in which it was grown.". If that turned out to be Bali it would have meant an automatic dismissal of the charge. Our previous Foreign Minister actually stated that it was possible that the drugs had been placed in her bag in Bali. We heard no further mention of that distinct possibility.


If DNA testing had found that the drugs were from Australia, further testing would have revealed the dna profile of anyone who had handled the product from their hair or dander samples in the package.


You are probably also aware that Ms Corby has a copy of her written statement requesting this testing be done along with fingerprinting of the original plastic bag. Yet these requests were denied by the court and the prosecution.


The AFP was told by the Bali Police that their help was not required. The AFP should have insisted on testing the drugs as an Australian citizen had been accused of exporting drugs from Australia to Indonesia. This would have been a trans national crime requiring a full investigation to establish the complete details. That was never done.


There are many eminent Australian jurors who have declared that Corby would not have been convicted in any court in Australia on the evidence used and the refusal by both the court and the prosecutor to allow DNA and fingerprint testing.


Before this case is brought before the United Nations Human Rights Committee, we urge you to work on a diplomatic solution to bring Ms Corby home a free woman instead of suffering the indignity of existing in the squalor of a third world prison, with no hope of ever becoming a mother and seeing her own children playing happily around her home.

Although some people are thinking that she did take the drugs into Indonesia, and some people are thinking the exact opposite, it is quite clear that she does to not deserve the sentence she had been giver or what she has been put through, considering Shapelle is not faced with metal problems, and could have the possibility of death, I think it is becoming quite clear that it is clear to bring her home, and get her some help. I know that every single one of us, would want to be cared about, and to have the peace of mind of thinking that people are tring to get you back to where you belong. People who thinks she is innocent, feel bad, and then continue eating their dinner. Something needs to be done before it is too late! No body can help her by themself, but if more and more people pass on the word, we may finally get Shapelle some help.

We visit Bali and wanted to do something more than diving and sun bathing, so we went to Kerobokan prison. Outside we spoke with Mercedes Corby and she told us who to visit inside. Because you've got to have a name of the person you are wanting to see, to get a visitors pas. Inside we spoke with Emanuel O Ihejirika and Scott Rush, giving also goods and money to them. In this hell hole we also met Chapelle, a soft speaking and still laughing, but suffering woman. Her eyes told us more than words. When visiting hour was ending we said goodbye to Emanuelle and Scott promising that we are going to write to each other. Outside the prison I could not hold my emotions and cried. I'm 52 years old and have seen tragedy in my life, but this was to much for me. But if you are innocent in a place that is not even good enough for holding chickens, you must do something to get Chapelle out. FREE CHAPELLE CORBY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have read the book "Bali Bajes" that recently came out here in Belgium. It is absolutely a shame that this young woman is in jail for something she clearly has not done. It is very shocking to read that the Australian government is doing nothing to help her own citizen. The image of Australia is already severly damaged by this case, so take your responsability and free Schapelle Corby NOW !!! She is in a very critical situation. This is realy not human anymore. From the other side of the world: shame on you Australia !!!

It is absurd to the Australian government does not bolster the young, it's clearly the high probability of his innocence, could not be proven because of incompetence and ignorance of the airport police. What kind of police do not follow basic procedures of research in a crime with penalties as severe? What kind of humans are these? She needs his countrymen, the Australian government can not accept an Australian subject to arbitrary decisions as radical and irrational in another nation.

Whether she is guilty or not, bring her home. Kebaboken Prison is a hell hole. No one deserves to be treated that way. The Australian Government should do everything in their power to help Australian Citizens overseas.

I am italian and I think corby's sentence is totally out of proportion. it is not a matter of whether she is guilty or not anymore: even if she WERE guilty the sentence would still be inappropriate. in Italy we had a long history of terrorism ( way before september 11 in the states ), and after 26 years CONVICTED TERRORISTS WHO KILLED SCORES OF PEOPLE are set free by law. I am actually not in favor of that, because if you bomb places and innocent people die I think you deserve the death penalty. On the other end, this woman HAS NOT KILLED ANYBODY, so even if she were guilty she doesn't deserve twenty years in jail ( in my opinion if she were guilty she should spend no more than two years in jail ).
